Ptolemy Costume Guide

#Costober concludes with a Taito-themed costume guide. But this is no ordinary costume guide. This one is based on a Taito arcade game that not only never left Japan until it was re-released in 2006 as part of the Taito Legends series, but it also had a Famicom port that was never released at all.

The Fairyland Story has to be one of those forgotten Arcade titles from Taito, the very same company that was known for Space Invaders. However, what we do not know was that The Fairyland Story was a predecessor to Bubble Bobble. Not only that, its main protagonist, Ptolemy, was also one of those female protagonists that predated Metroid's Samus. The game, however, never left Japan until the release of Taito Legends 2 for the PlayStation 2, XBox and Microsoft Windows as well as Taito Legends: Power-Up for the PlayStation Portable.

Super Metroid Ending Costume Guide

Author's Note: This #Costober costume guide is a belated tribute to the 40th Anniversary of the Metroid series.

So you've completed Super Metroid for the SNES, right? Even better still, you've beaten the game in less than 3 hours. What kind of ending do you get? You get to see Samus in a black bikini, of course!

Vault Boy Costume Guide

#Costober continues with another costume guide, and Today's one is about the poster boy of Bethesda's Fallout series. Yes, we are talking about the Vault Boy.

If there was anyone who best represents the Fallout series, it's always the Vault Boy. He's so iconic that not only was he a DLC Mii Gunner Costume in Super Smash Bros Ultimate, he even got an origin story in the Fallout TV Series as well.

Madiesha Costume Guide

It's been several days since I last did a costume guide for #Costober, but I'm back with some new costume guides.

For those wondering who Madiesha is, she's the Romanian leotard-clad gymnast from a forgotten Taiwanese MS-DOS fighting game called Tough Guy. Obscure games need some love too...

Armor Piercing Throw

Characters getting struck by a Rune Dagger thrown at them, from left to right: Female noob wearing bronze armor (RuneScape), Sir Arthur (Ghosts'n Goblins), Low-level female archer wearing Green Shivermail armor (MapleStory).

If a Rune Dagger from RuneScape was to be thrown at anyone, low-level armor such as the Bronze Platebody from RuneScape (Old School RuneScape's version being featured in this comic) and the Shivermail armor from MapleStory would get easily penetrated. The flimsy armor from Ghosts'n Goblins would just break apart if it got penetrated by the Rune Dagger that was thrown at it.

Peter Pepper Costume Guide

The costume guides for #Costober are done for now. But you do not know when it will be back. Maybe you do not have to wait until next October. Who knows...

If you are thinking about food during #Costober, why not dress up as Peter Pepper from BurgerTime? He's a great burger chef after all.

Bonk Costume Guide

#Costober continues with yet another costume guide. One that makes us want to take down villains by butting heads.

We thought the Bonk series was extinct when Bonk: Brink of Extinction was cancelled as a result of Hudson Soft being assimilated into Konami. We were wrong. When Konami announced that Bonk's Adventure and Bonk's Revenge are going to be part of the TurboGrafx-16 Mini's game lineup, it turns out Konami still remembers the Hudson Soft library. So if you want to be dressed up as a caveman, Bonk is your best choice.

By the way, this costume guide for Bonk is about Bonk's in-game attire as it appeared in various games in the Bonk series such as Bonk's Adventure, Bonk's Revenge, and Bonk's Return.
